Everton are set to dispense with some of their big earners in order to slash their huge wage bill.

Director of football Marcel Brands has confirmed the club’s plans to offload certain players this summer in order to free up funds for new signings.

Wayne Rooney is expected to complete a move to DC United in the near future with several others likely to follow following Brands’ vow to trim a bloated squad of 38.

Joel Robles, not one of the squad’s highest earners, will leave by the end of the month after Everton confirmed they will not be renewing his contract after five years at Goodison.

But who else faces an uncertain future?

The French midfielder is believed to be pushing for a move away from Everton this summer.

Signed by Ronald Koeman for an initial £20m in January 2017, Schneiderlin impressed as the Blues secured seventh place and Europa League qualification.

However, the 28-year-old has been poor since and lost his place as a guaranteed starter as David Unsworth, and then Sam Allardyce , took the reins.

Schneiderlin, who is believed to command a weekly wage of around £120,000, showed a perceived lack of commitment during a training session in November which saw him dropped from the squad and the former Manchester United man was booed by a section of fans at Goodison when being brought on as a sub against Crystal Palace in February.

Klaassen vowed to carry on fighting for his Everton future, in a recent interview - but it remains to be seen if he fits into Marco Silva’s plans.

The £23.6m signing from Ajax last summer struggled badly to adapt to English football and made just 16 appearances and league and cup.

A loan move to Napoli collapsed in strange circumstances in January while Turkish side Besiktas have been credited with showing interest in Klaassen this week.

Funes Mori is another player with two years left on the deal he signed in 2015 after a £9.5m switch from River Plate.

The 27-year-old missed 12 months through injury but finished the season in the starting line-up against West Ham on the last day.

However, the defender - said to earn £40,000 a week, is attracting interest from clubs in Mexico and Argentina and with Everton understood to be looking for a new centre-half he could try and force a move this summer.
